[QUOTE=Ericg;340802]No, I'm not related to Fedora. I'm a user. As far as the MS Office reference... If I saw someone on the forums asking about how to install MS Office on Fedora, that immediately tells me a few things about the person-- they are new to Linux, they are probably new to open source, but they are smart enough to go to the forums asking for help. And I would tell them "Install wine" But I would probably walk them through how to do it to get it setup and running, explaining to them that MS doesn't actually support Office on Linux and that this is a workaround-- I'd also mention that they might be able to run some of their other windows apps through wine.
thanx for that
wrong mesa 9.2 is in fedora 19
enother example that fedora dont only include stable releases. So its not that hard to think they could make a rawhide package of xbmc 13.
and kernel 3.10 is in rawhide added rawhide disabled then yum install kernel --enable-repo=rawhide done you have kernel 3.10
So you have it... except the xbmc 12 dont supports it seems... so the only thing you would need is xbmc.
I have then yell at the make maintainer I guess because that issue is basicly with every 100% of all projects using makefile.
I made packages for ubuntu but because I am the developer of it ^^ more or less ^^. did that for one dependency, too. But I will not compile stuff manually I was pretty happy with gentoo some time a few years ago... till I wanted to invest less time for admin my desktop. So Arch hits here a sweetspot for me basicly at least on my desktop its pretty ok. ok there is no kernel 3.10 stable yet that I dont have to compile but at least I can compile it over a aur package so I have to not do much except waiting a few hours ^^ but it sucks because all 7 days there is a newer verison or so, and I dont have some hours all the time... but ok... I dont have to update and I am shure in 2 weeks or so I will get a binary kernel package for 3.10.
I just thought arch is not so good for a box where not so much have to change all the time... but it does two things server stuff there older software is basicly mostly ok... and xbmc... and there we are ^^. So I have to make that happen at that point I can use more conservative software... and I am ok to wait 2 weeks or so no problems.
And I am in a phase where I use this 2 distros and I am not 100% shure yet if I am happy with both in the long run, at the moment Arch shines more... except I have the feeling that fedoras gnome works faster but maybe it has todo that on the pc from my dad also with a zacate he has a real desktop ssd here its a slower one... and I start always a video and I have here not yet vdpau setup aktiv ^^ hmm ok here is mesa 9.1 default so yes fedora is basicly more bleeding edge than arch ^^. thats a bit the reason why I wonder why there is not xbmc 13 package. ^^
mesa is the bigger problem than the kernel, so because 9.2 mesa is in fedora-stable I thought to get it working is easy.
